High BP after having COVID

[Ankb14]

I am 35 yrs male ,I had COVID 1 month back and one day post COVID I felt dizziness so I measured by BP and sugar at that time.My BP was around 167/ 109 for 3 days straight and suger was around 107. I visited a doctor who started a 40 mg BP tablet/ day alongwith 60 K vitamin D3 tablet/ per week and 30 min walk daily which I am following regularly.

I have been measuring my BP which is around 135/ 90 after 10 days but still it is not coming to normal level. I Feel diziness some days or may be it has become a habit now.

Can someone advise if this is common and how they have overcome this .

Hi,

COVID can give a lot of other health problems. The Internet is full of information. If you like you can Google COVID and high blood pressure, you may find some answers.

High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.Your blood pressure is close to hypertensive emergency. Hypertensive urgency is defined as having a systolic blood pressure over 180 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure over 110 mmHg.

Adopt DASH diet and Mediterranean diet.
